LEO WON 1ST PLACE ON THE SHOW. I AM SO PROUD OF OUR PINK HAMSTER

[infiniapeiron]

🌟 180807 Leo’s 1st Win on SBS MTV The Show 🌟 

Exactly a week ago, Jung Taekwoon started his activities as solo singer Leo with a solid mini album that perfectly shows off his musicality, versatility, and growth as an artist.

As he entered his second week of promotions, one big gift and surprise came in the form of winning first place on a music show ; u ; Look at how he periodically looked back at his trophy while giving his speech, as if not believing that he is actually holding it 😭💕

We know how reserved he can get when he is alone, moreso now that he is presenting his own work to the world. That could be very nerve-racking but this win could be a huge confidence boost for him; knowing that there are people who appreciate his work and believe in what he can do 😊 There are literal tears from looking back at his growth from being VIXX’s quietest member to this confident solo artist and performer oozing with passion and charisma.

I have not much more to say other than I’m so proud of him and I can’t wait for him to shine even more 💖

Oh My God, am I alive or did I died & went to heaven? How can he be so cute & sexy at the same time? It's a mystery. What is life? LEO is life. I seriously love him & his music. I feel like our souls are connected, cause his music really moves me deeply. Like he is making sounds & words that I've been looking for the whole of my life. It's amazing~

Also, big thanks for the translation :)

another ghost oc, but this 1 actually has a name and personality! (mainly cause the sketches r from like 6 months ago i just didn’t finish them till this week) 

their name is auroras, they’re based off the northern/southern lights. no gender, just gremlin. they’re a stupidly old ghost (like was there for both the rise and fall of pariah dark) but they act like a curious 5yr old (aka touching/messing with everything), and r incapable of taking anything seriously. basicaly their personality can be summed up as “im bored and im about to make that everyone’s problem”

danny’s 1st meets them when they’re exploring/causing minor mischief around amity (they aren’t hurting anyone, just being annoying) they see danny and r like “ aw! look at that cute little halfa. haven’t seen 1 of those for a while. he seems young. you’re supposed to play with children right? that seems like fun!” and then they lead danny on a scoobydoo chase all over town. at some point they would use the fact they’re so old they saw the old ghost king get dethroned to win an argument with danny(cause i like foreshadowing). danny doesn’t actually catch them, they just hear danny complaining about vlad and decided to go bother him instead. (would probably happen sometime around the end of season 1)

danny’s 2nd meeting with auroras would be cause frostbite introduced them. (frostbite) “auroras is a master at controlling ice great one, they will be able to help you master your powers far beyond what i could teach you!” and danny would be like “its you!” >:O and auroras would go “it me!” danny would try to fight them and frostbite would have too hold him back (frostbite)“Great one you can not fight such and old and powerful ghost!”  (ﾟAﾟ;)   (danny)”JUST WATCH ME!” ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ 

auroras would definitely join the box ghost on the “not dangerous just annoying” list though for different reasons. like when not making trouble they’d try to be helpful, but they’d just make things worse for danny. and they won’t leave him alone until something else catches their attention.

cause they’re so old they’re also really strong (like most of the other old ghosts in the show) but they don’t like fighting and just run away from conflict. i like to headcacon that the thermos doesn’t work on really strong ghost till they’ve been weakened (like pokemon) so thats why they annoy danny so much. they won’t fight and danny can’t hit them so no time outs in the thermos for auroras.

Liam is assigned to draw a person, living or dead, for his art project. After being turned down by the first few people he asked he decided to head over to the local coffee shop.

That's where he sees him.

Nolan.

Liam has been crushing hard on Nolan. Sure he talks with him, flirts with him, but Nolan always keeps it to mostly 1 word answers & replies. Liam always tried to joke with him. One, because his Nolan's smile was a sight to behold. Two, whenever Liam joked, he liked to poke or elbow Nolan. Any excuse to touch him.

Maybe Liam could sit within eyeshot of Nolan & snap a picture with his phone, maybe do a quick sketch.

Nope.

Nolan spotted him & waved him over.

Liam smiled & sat down across from Nolan. Liam explained how he had to draw a person for his art project & then fumbled his way into asking Nolan if he could sketch him right there right now.

Nolan finished eating his cake but some icing was on his top lip. 😋

"I'm ready, Mr. Deville, for my sketch"

Liam reaches over & with his thumb wipes away the icing that was still on Nolan's face.

With out thinking Nolan grabs Liam's hand & sucks & licks Liam's thumb.

Liam just stares... amazed & so very much turned on. Nolan freezes & blushes 😊 then realized he still had Liam's thumb in his mouth.

Wow. Is all Liam can say. Liam then suggests that they take this back to his house.

Liam has Nolan sit on a stool. He goes thru having Nolan pose in different poses until he landed on one that worked.

About half way thru his drawing that he's going to fill with color later. Liam gets up and with his pointer finger & his thumb to adjust the position on Nolan's head. Nolan licks his lips, & Liam can't help it, he leans in & gently kisses Nolan.

Nolan pulls Liam into him & slightly opens his mouth inviting Liam in & goes in deep, deepens this kiss.

And that was Liam & Nolan's first kiss.

Liam's art teacher suggested Liam submit his picture into a contest & wins 🏆 1st place.

[reptilian-angel]

Here they are my batch of Halloween sketches for this year's contest! And every one of them placed!!! Second to first runner-up and even 1st place! For the first time in 6 years! How cool is that?!

The first took the last half September to finish, but I like to think it's one of my best pieces yet, considering it win me first place in "Most Sexy", *enter low growl*

The second was a last minute decision and the end result of listening to Carrie the musical one too many times. I particularly like how the flames came out. Thank you Youtube tutorials!

And the last one I did as sort of tribute to a fellow Darkwing Duck fan, @eleanorose123, dedicated to her touch-loathing, destructively charming OC Dominic Domino, who quickly became one of my favorite fan characters. Please go and check them out if you haven't yet. And also, of course, read the fanfiction about him generously written by the delightful @psychosistr, who has head-canons and snippets aplenty!

Happy Halloween 2020! Got a 24-Hour Halloween marathon to get on with and I'm still on movie number 4! Wish me luck!

Developed alongside the Centre Pompidou in Paris, known for its unmatched collection of Matisse works, Matisse: life & spirit will be the greatest single exhibition of Matisse masterworks ever to be seen in Sydney. Yep – you’ll be able to see his famed cut-outs, but also his adventures in paintings, sculptures, and drawings, tracking the vast and varied exploration of his artistic career. This is TRULY unmissable!

Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art February 29th – June 8th 2020 Art Gallery South Australia, SA

This year the Art Gallery of South Australia welcomes the hugely popular Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art back for its 30th year. Known for its risk-taking and expansive vision, the Biennial welcomes the wild, wacky, weird and wonderful.

The theme of the 2020 iteration is Monster Theatres, inviting artists to bring to life the ‘monsters’ of today. As described by curator Leigh Robb, ‘Monsters ask us to interrogate our relationships with each other, the environment and technology. They force us to question our empathy towards differences across race, gender, sexuality and spirituality.’

Water December 7th 2019 – April 26th 2020 Gallery of Modern Art, QLD

Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art never fails to disappoint with its innovative, world-class programming – and Water is no exception! Exploring the theme of, you guessed it, Water, this exhibition explores this vital element from the perspective of artists around the world.

Here is some of what you can expect, according to GOMA:

‘Walk across a vast, rocky riverbed created by Olafur Eliasson. See animals from around the world gather together to drink from Cai Guo-Qiang’s brilliant blue waterhole. Gaze at Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s snowman frozen in Brisbane’s summer heat. Traverse a cloud of suspended gymnastic rings in a participatory artwork by William Forsythe. View the tidal currents rise and fall around Angela Tiatia. Reflect on the cultural traditions of bodies of water with Judy Watson, and on the long history of our reliance on water through Megan Cope’s re-created midden.’

  Stanislava Pinchuk June 27th – October 4th 2020 Heide Museum of Modern Art, VIC

Stanislava Pinchuk (also known by her pseudonym, Miso) has emerged as one of Australia’s intriguing contemporary artists in the last decade. The Ukranian-born, Melbourne-based artist captures the changing topographies of war and conflict zones through data mapping, making tiny, individual pin pricks to realise these patterns – an incredibly labour-intensive and mentally and physically draining process that appears effortless, and beautiful.

This major exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne will feature a survey of Stanislava’s most powerful pinprick projects from the past five years, accompanied by terrazzo-like sculptures comprised of pieces of debris left behind in conflict zones.

Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now May 30th – September 13th 2020 National Gallery of Australia, ACT

The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) celebrates its ongoing initiative to increase representation of artists who identify as women with Know My Name: Australian Women Artists 1900 to Now.

Drawing on works from the National Gallery’s own collection, as well as others from across Australia, Know My Name showcases the work of lesser-known artists alongside Australian greats from different times, places and cultures.

As part of the broader Know My Name initiative, a new commission by the Tjanpi Desert Weavers will be on display at the National Gallery. Patricia Piccinini’s iconic Skywhale (2013) will also see its new counterpart, Skywhalepapa (2020) ascend over Canberra on its maiden voyage, travelling alongside Skywhale eight times during the exhibition period.

Pierre Bonnard designed by India Mahdavi June 5th – October 4th 2020 National Gallery of Victoria

While Sydney-siders enjoy the masterful works of Henri Matisse, Melbournites won’t miss out on the opportunity to experience an incredible exhibition of another beloved French painter! The exquisite works of Pierre Bonnard will be on show at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) for their major winter showcase, a kaleidoscopic exhibition of 150 works from the painter with a fondness for domestic scenes and rural life. Pierre Bonnard has been developed in partnership with Musee d’Orsay in Paris.

Described by Matisse, a close friend of Bonnard’s, as ‘a great painter, for today and definitely also for the future’, this groundbreaking exhibition spans paintings, drawings, photographs, folding screens and early cinema, depicting scenes of modern 20th century France in bright, vivid colours.

Aside from the opportunity to see one of the works of this beloved painter, what makes this exhibition absolutely unmissable is the design of the show itself. Iranian Paris-based designer India Mahdavi (the interiors genius behind the iconic pink Gallery at Sketch restaurant in London) has been commissioned by the NGV to bring Bonnard’s extraordinary works to life, elegantly balancing historical references with contemporary culture in an immersive experience.

22nd Biennale of Sydney, NIRIN November 8th 2020 – 16th February 2021 Various locations, NSW

First held in 1973 as part of the opening celebrations of the Sydney Opera House, the Biennale of Sydney is now in its 22nd year and is one of Australia’s blockbuster contemporary art events.

Taking place across six major sites – Art Gallery of New South Wales, Artspace, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Cockatoo Island, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the National Art School – the Biennale of Sydney will see 94 artists from 47 countries

Under the guidance of multidisciplinary artist and this year’s Biennale Artistic Director Brook Andrew, the 12-week exhibition is titled NIRIN, meaning ‘edge’ in Brook’s mother’s Nation – the Wiradjuri people of western New South Wales. He says, ‘Optimism from chaos drives artists in NIRIN to resolve the often hidden or ignored urgency surrounding contemporary life.’

Carriageworks Commissions Rebecca Baumann: Radiant Flux, January 8th – June 14th Reko Rennie: REMEMBER ME, January 2020 – January 2021 Kate Mitchell: All Auras Touch, January 8th – March 1st Daniel Boyd: Video Works, January 8th – March 1st

Australia’s largest multi-arts centre, Carriageworks, has been home to some pretty major large-scale installation commissions in its time (who could forget German artist Katherina Grosse’s otherworldly technicoloured universe in 2018?). This summer, four new site-specific commissions from leading Australian artists Rebecca Baumann, Daniel Boyd, Kate Mitchell and Reko Rennie have taken residence in the epic historical space.

Spanning over 100-metres, Rebecca Baumann’s Radiant Flux sees every glass surface of the building’s exterior covered in a film that changes colour at every angle, flooding the space with kaleidoscopic light that will never be the same twice.

A study in human energy, All Aurus Touch by Kate Mitchell captures an aura portrait for each of the 1,023 census-recognised occupations.

Video Works by Kudjala/Gangalu artist Daniel Boyd features three major video installations, where gallery walls will be mapped with the artist’s otherworldly, infinite cosmos.

Interdisciplinary Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie references the massacre of First Nations people in Remember Me, a massive illuminated sign that will remain on display for the whole of 2020, the year marking the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s first landfall.

Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes May 9th – September 6th 2020 Art Gallery of New South Wales, NSW

The Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes are some of the most prestigious and highly anticipated art events in the country. Since its inception in 1921, The Archibald Prize the most well-known of the three awards celebrates paintings of notable figures that reflect Australian culture across areas including art, media, entertainment, politics, sports and more. The works are always a great capsule to represent Australian culture of the moment.

Finalists for the Archibald (portrait), Wynne (landscape/scenery) and Sulman (genre/subject) are shown in an exhibition that starts at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and tours at select galleries around Australia for the remainder of the year.
